A requote happens when the price at which you try to execute an order is no longer available. In that case, the trading platform — in this case, Exness — sends a notification offering a new price. You can then choose whether to accept the new price or not.
This typically occurs in volatile market conditions when prices move quickly. In Exness, requotes are more common on Instant Execution accounts than on Market Execution accounts, which process trades at the best available price instead of requiring price confirmation.
Several market and platform-related factors contribute to requotes. Let’s break down the key causes below:
Account Type | Execution Mode | Requotes Possible? | Ideal For |
---|---|---|---|
Standard | Market Execution | No | General trading needs |
Standard Cent | Market Execution | No | Low-risk micro trading |
Raw Spread | Market Execution | No | Tight spreads, fast fills |
Zero | Market Execution | No | Institutional-style pricing |
Pro | Instant Execution | Yes | Manual strategy traders |
Being ready for requotes means understanding how to manage them in real-time. Here are practical steps:
Ways to Avoid or Reduce Requotes:

When a requote happens on Exness:
This quick process ensures that you are always aware of any price shift and that no trade is placed without your confirmation.
Requotes aren’t always predictable, but some market events and times make them more likely. Watch for these situations:
Exness Requotes are part of the trading experience when using Instant Execution accounts. While they may seem like a barrier at first, they’re actually a protective measure. Traders looking for tight control over their entry price may find requotes a valuable tool — as long as they know how to manage them properly.
However, if speed and guaranteed execution are more important, switching to a Market Execution account type can eliminate requotes entirely. In either case, knowing when and why Exness Requotes happen helps you make better decisions under pressure and ensures you stay focused on your strategy rather than the screen pop-ups.
Are requotes the same as slippage?
No. A requote is a request to confirm a new price, while slippage is the automatic execution of an order at a different price due to rapid market movement.
Can I avoid Exness Requotes completely?
Yes, by using Market Execution accounts like Standard or Raw Spread, you can eliminate the possibility of requotes.
Why do requotes happen more during news releases?
Market volatility increases during news events, causing prices to shift rapidly — often faster than the system can confirm execution.
How do I change the slippage tolerance on Exness?
In the trading platform (MetaTrader), you can adjust the maximum deviation setting before placing an order to automatically accept small price changes.
Do requotes affect stop loss or take profit orders?
No. Requotes only apply to manually executed market orders using Instant Execution. Pending orders, SL, and TP are filled based on available liquidity.
